Looking for relief from hayfever eyes?

Murine® hayfever relief eye drops could be the product for you. Murine® hayfever relief eye drops is a prescription strength solution yet available in the healthcare aisles for self-selection, providing real relief and treatment for the eye symptoms of hayfever.

Uses

Murine® hayfever relief eye drops contain Sodium Cromoglicate, which reduces the body’s response to the hayfever allergen by stopping the production of histamines and in turn prevents the eye symptoms of hayfever, such as itchy, red and watery eyes, from developing. Murine® hayfever relief eye drops provide a straight forward, rapid and effective means of reducing eye discomfort caused by hayfever symptoms.

Directions

Use this medicine only in your eyes. Adults (including the elderly) and children over six years:

  • Place one or two drops into each eye four times a day

  • Wash your hands before using the drops

  • Tilt your head back and carefully pull down your lower eyelid

  • Without touching the eyelid with the tip of the dropper, put one or two drops into your lower lid and then blink a few times to make sure your whole eye is covered by the liquid

  • Replace cap securely on the bottle

If your eyes are no better after 2 days of using the eye drops, see your doctor or pharmacist.If you find you need to use the drops continuously for more than 14 days, then check with your pharmacist or doctor before continuing.Contact your doctor if you use the eye drops more frequently than the recommended dose.

Precautions for Use

BEFORE YOU USE:

Do not use if you or your child are sensitive to eye drops containing sodium cromoglicate, benzalkonium chloride or disodium edetate.

Avoid contact with soft contact lenses. For all other types of contact lenses: Remove contact lenses prior to application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinsertion.Do not use in children under 6 years of age.Do not use for other allergic eye symptoms (not caused by hayfever). Other things in everyday life can start allergies causing eye symptoms in certain people. For example contact with animals including pets, house dust mites, other particles and chemicals. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor. You must be confident that you or your child’s eye symptoms are caused by hayfever, or have been previously diagnosed by your doctor to suffer from hayfever: You can be sure allergic eyes are caused by hayfever if:

  • Both eyes are affected

  • You also have a runny or blocked nose

  • Your eyesight is not affected

  • You know you suffer from hayfever and your symptoms coincide with the times of year when grass or tree pollen is high

But if you or your child have:

  • No nose symptoms

  • Only one eye is affected

  • Your sight is affected

Or if the eye symptoms:

  • Occur at the wrong time of the year for hayfever

  • Are likely to be caused by another allergy, e.g. a pet or dust mite allergy then you cannot be sure that the condition is due to hayfever and you should see your doctor or pharmacist before you use these drops.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before use:

  • If you are pregnant or breast feeding
